My first wheel build was a very simple start using 32h DT rims, hub, and spokes. (DT RR1.1 rims 32h)

Reason I attempted was because a Ringle super bubba front 32h hub broke off where one of the spokes laced in.

I did find that there was a history of this issue with Ringle hubs and this one looked in excellent condition.

I found a new DT 32h hub and rebuilt using simple straight lacing, no crosses.
Got nice tight build and very true spin.

Used biked probably several hundred miles with good performance and the wheel stayed very true.

Surprise was that after latest 40m ride, party on gravel, I found that almost half of the nipples had completely unscrewed. Amazingly the wheel was still spinning true and I did not even notice till after the ride when I cleaned up the bike.

I reconnected all the spokes and got all tight. Wheel again spins true and test ride successful.

Im thinking this will probably happen again.
Is this an issue with non-crossed wheel builds ?
Should I apply something like locktight to help prevent this from happening again ?

TIA for any advice
